15、(2)For a missing word, mark the position of the missing word with a “ “ sign and write t 【知识模块】 改错 1 【正确答案】 light lights 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。此处指中国的现代化体现在高楼和明灯上， light应该指现代化的灯光设施，而不是泛指光 (也可能是自然光 )。 【知识模块】 改错 2 【正确答案】 maintains remains 【试题解析】 本题为动词 误用。两词都有 “保持 ”的含义，但 maintain更强调保持 (建筑物、机器等的 )良好状态，而 remain侧
16、重 “保持原来的状态 ”，这里用remain比较合适。 【知识模块】 改错 3 【正确答案】 continuous constant 【试题解析】 本题为形容词误用。这两个是近义词，但 continuous强调的是在一段时间内的连续不断 (无间断 )，但 constant强调长期永久性的持续性 (不一定无间断 )，这里指河流供水，应选用后者。 【知识模块】 改错 4 【正确答案】 unlike not 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。从上文可以看到中国农村依然是田野遍布，下文指出美国西部也是遍植玉米，这里应该用双重否定强调相似性。 【知识模块】 改错 5 【正确答案】 against to wi
17、th 【试题解析】 本题介词误用。 parallel with to sth为固定搭配，表示 “与 平行 ”，这里指电线与高速公路平行，暗示现代化程度。 【知识模块】 改错 6 【正确答案】 heard 一 of 【试题解析】 本题为动词误用。 hear可以作及物动词， hear sth强调听到的声音； hear作不及物动词 hear of sth表示听说某事。这里的宾语是 the changes，应当用 hear of。 【知识模块】 改错 7 【正确答案】 more 一 of 【试题解析】 本题为缺词错误。此处比较级 more后面应该加副词或形容词 (如果加名词，则 more表示的是数量，
18、不合文意 )，而 of+名词等同于形容词，如： He is more of a sports man than his brother。 【知识模块】 改错 8 【正确答案】 ringing ringed 【试题解析】 本题为非谓语动词误用。此处指高楼周围围绕着小楼，根据及物动词 ring的用法 ring sth with sth，这里应当用表示被动语态的过去分词。 【知识模块】 改错 9 【正确答案】 couldnt shouldnt 【试题解析】 本题为情态动词误用。此处表示我本不该感到如此惊讶，而couldnt have done表示对过去的否定推测，不符合文意。 【知识模块】 改错 1
19、0 【正确答案】 was it this 【试题解析】 本题为缺词错误。 “Equipped with the modern amenities of a gas stove， a toilet， and a shower”是状语，整句话缺少主语。如果把 a shower理解为主语，句子语意不通。 【知识模块】 改错 【知识模块】 改错 11 【正确答案】 opening open 【试题解析】 本题为非谓语动词误用。此处 open本身就可以作为后置形容词，无需采用 open的动 词形式转换为非谓语动词，即便需要用非谓语也应当使用表示被动的过去分词。 【知识模块】 改错 12 【正确答案】 p
20、art full 【试题解析】 本题为逻辑错误。根据下文对于 part time的定义，只需在晚上或每月一个周末去上课，并不会影响工作。此处逻辑错误，应该是 full time。 【知识模块】 改错 13 【正确答案】 tend tends 【试题解析】 本题为主谓一致性错误。此句主语和谓语之问有插入语，需要判断主语是 part time education，因此动 词应当用第一人称单数形式。 【知识模块】 改错 14 【正确答案】 the (reach)一 【试题解析】 本题为冠词错误。 out of reach为刚定搭配虽然后面有 of结构作修饰，中间不需要加冠词。 【知识模块】 改错 1
21、5 【正确答案】 learn learning 【试题解析】 本题为非谓语动词误用。 approach to中的 to是介词，而不是不定式， approach to sth表示 “达到某个目标的途径 ”。如： The school has decided to adopt a different approach to discipline因此应当采用 learn的动名词形式。 【知识模块】 改错 16 【正确答案】 that what 【试题解析】 本题为从句误用。 that可以引导定语从句，但前面必须有先行词。此处缺少先行词，应当用 what，因为 what=n +that。如： This
22、 is what(=the thing that)I call vanity 【知识模块】 改错 17 【正确答案】 regards regard 【试题解析】 本题为名词误用。 regard作为名词只有在表示祝愿时用作复数，在其他用法中都作为不可数名词。 【知识模块】 改错 18 【正确答案】 continue continuing 【试题解析】 本题为从句误用。 while、 when引导的时间状语从句中，当从句主语与主句主语一致，谓语动词为 be动词时可以省略主语和谓语，此处已省略 be动词，所以 continue应当是进行时态。 【知识模块】 改错 19 【正确答案】 (characterized)of by 【试 题解析】 本题为介词误用。通常用法为 be characteristic of sth，但此处为be characterized应当是被动态，用介词 by。 【知识模块】 改错 20 【正确答案】 if whether 【试题解析】 本题为从句误用。本句意为无论是远程学习还是在校学习，相应的学位是一样的。 if和 whether都可以引导条件从句，但只有 whether可以和 or连起来构成让步从句。 【知识模块】 改错
